Scan Modes
General
Both System Scan and Group Scan are available in Maxon's
TP-4800 Series radio. Although your Maxon Dealer will
explain which option(s) he has programmed for you, the
following is a description of each.
System Scan
System Scan is initiated by pressing SCN SYS. To exit
Scan mode, press SCN and hold for 2 seconds. Scan mode
is indicated by the word "SCAN" displayed in the lower left
portion of the display. When scanning is actually occurring,
the words "IN SCAN" appear in the display in place of the
unique group identifier. In addition, the System numbers are
incremented. Scanning is sequential through all Systems,
Trunked and Conventional, unless they are locked out of
scan as described under "System Lockout". When an
incoming call is detected, scanning stops and the call is
received. The display will indicate the System and Group
identifier from which the call was received and the word
"SCAN" in the lower left portion of the display. When the
incoming call is complete, scanning resumes after a pre-
determined pause. (See "Scan Resume Delay" for additional
information regarding the pause).
System Lockout
All Systems, Trunked and Conventional, are scanned in
System Scan Mode. If you desire not to scan a particular
System, select that System with the SYS key and press the
LCK key. The word "LOCK" appears in the upper left
